"In the new school year 2022-2023, a total of 720 educational assistants will be employed, while public notices for the registration of those interested will be published in the following days by primary schools implementing the entire selection procedure", announced the Ministry of Education and Science.

From there they emphasize that raising the degree of inclusiveness of the national education system is a strategic priority and a key goal in the work program of the Ministry of Education and Science, for which more and more funds and activities are being directed, the realization of which includes a large number of social actors.

"Educational assistance service was introduced as an obligation of the state regulated by law.

That is, the employment of assistants for students with disabilities attending regular primary schools is no longer a concern and additional expenses for the families of the students", emphasizes the Ministry of Education.

The Ministry of Education and Science informs that last school year 500 assistants were employed, of which 260 in the Skopje and Kumanovo regions and 240 assistants in the other three regions, namely 80 assistants in the Vardar, Southeast and Pellagonia regions.

After the final selection, educational assistants are employed in primary schools, with a monthly allowance and contributions paid by the compulsory social security.

The Ministry of Education and Science invites all citizens with appropriate education and a desire to work with students with disabilities to follow the websites of elementary schools with resource centers and to register for the call of the respective school for which are interested.
